Description
Introduction Join us for LEGO in Education: Building Skills Through Playful Learning, an interactive workshop designed to immerse you in the practical use of LEGO as a dynamic educational tool. This session is not a theoretical approach but a hands-on experience where you’ll actively engage with LEGO to discover how it can enhance learning across different subjects. You’ll leave with new skills, techniques, and activities that you can immediately implement in your classroom or learning environment.
